So why join the Hotdoggers Longboard Surfclub? Well, a lot of our members live in cities a long way from the coast but still feel in touch and feel part of the local scene, its a great way to make new friends and surf with some of the UKs best longboard surfers. We can give you advice on longboard designs that would suit your needs, where to get the best deals on surf gear and tips on improving your surfing.

Surfing under the shadows of the cliffs and caves Saunton’s Hotdoggers surf club has been around for quite some time, this is how the club has evolved over the years: The club is the largest and longest running longboard club in the UK. It all started in the early 70’s with the Redwood Club, in 1984 it became the Chapter Hotdoggers, then in 1997 the club simply became THE HOTDOGGERS with the membership spiralling – thus becoming a nationally-recognised longboard surf club. Members ages range from 14 to over 70 years.

The Hotdoggers surfers are well travelled from France, Spain and Portugal to Hawaii, California, G Land, Australia and more. The club holds numerous contests throughout the year for all abilities, monthly gatherings, BBQs and other fun social events for members. The Hotdoggers club is about meeting new people, making friends and sharing sound advice but most of all it’s about having fun.

Our members range from juniors to the grand old masters and we cater for all abilities. The club has a great social and competitive scene running league events, social activities and even the famous annual surf trip, which this year is Sri Lanka.

In 2014 we have introduced stand up paddle (SUP) to the club and we have an active surf and SUP contest scene.
Whether you are interested in becoming the British champion or just hanging out with other loggers this is the club for you and your family.

One parent even said there child waits all year for the 30mins they get in the sea! That’s how much it means to them! Glad I could be a part of it!
Well done to Norman Wright and everyone that helped organize such a great day! 👍
